Museum at the Bighorns works with educators to teach context

With the beginning of the school year, the Museum at the Bighorns is working to show, teach and explain the complexities of history. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Museum at the Bighorns Executive Director Danielle Stuckle, spoke on efforts to create partnerships with the community’s teachers and expand on the school programming at Sheridan’s local museum. 

According to Stuckle, it is a misconception that history is just dates and events. She wants to help students understand that history has many points of view and understanding concepts and context is just as important as remembering dates.
